U15 'A' team come up short against a strong Reeds side

Reeds Weybridge opened the scoring within a minute of the starting whistle with a sign of their intent. Chinnor then sorted out their defence and what followed for the next 15 minutes was a superb display of rugby from both sides.

Chinnor's front row of Shaun, Harry and Louis competed well for the ball and standing up to a bigger Reeds front row. Ben G and Gus provided the engine room in the scrum the result of their collective hard work was only one of our scrums that went against the head. Our back row of Max, Ben M and Archie B played extremely well will Archie and Ben M naturally organising and making yards from them and those around them. Reed's defence was superb and held up until Chinnor finally managed to break through for their only try of the match.

Reeds then came back with two tries in the remainder of the half - both of them capitalizing on minor errors from the Chinnor side. 17-7 at HT.

The second half was an equally tough contest with play mostly in Reeds half. Dan M was consistently good throughout and Ben S played well at fly half. Centres Archie D (playing out of position) and Dylan both put in good shifts, as did Alex B at full back. Chris and Nathan on the wings were unable to break through a very strong Reeds defence. A combination of two well worked team tries for Reeds plus a further two breakaway tries left Chinnor licking their wounds. 39-7 FT.

Not the result that Chinnor were looking for, but a lot of positives and a good reminder that there is always someone better out there... Thank you to Reeds for a closely contested match played in good spirit.
